CAD Lithium Disilicate Blocks
Lodden
Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic blocks for CAD/CAM milling of veneers, inlays/onlays, crowns and short bridges. The block is milled in its soft, pre-crystallized state, which is easy to mill; after staining and glazing it is crystallized in a porcelain furnace and reaches its final strength and shade with almost no shrinkage. Several translucency levels, block sizes and holders for several milling systems let the lab match the block to the case and the machine.
Key features
- 637 MPa flexural strength after crystallization — up to 3-unit bridges from the B40 block
- 0.22 mm minimum thickness per the manufacturer — for thin veneers and conservative preps
- Four translucency levels: HT (up to 60%), LT, MT and MO
- Four sizes, including A16 with a pre-formed hole for implant crowns
- Holders for Sirona, Wieland, Ivoclar, Planmeca and Amann systems
- Crystallized in a porcelain furnace with near-zero shrinkage, per the manufacturer
